Alaska Civil Pattern Jury Instruction 7.02
Liability for Defect in Product
Plaintiff's [first] theory of recovery is that plaintiff was [injured] [damaged] by a defect in a product which the defendant [made] [sold] [rented to (insert lessee)]. In order to recover, plaintiff must establish that it is more likely true than not true:
(1) that the product was defective;
(2) the product was defective when it left the possession of the defendant; and
(3) a defect in the product was a legal cause of the [injury] [damage].
I will explain what "defect in the product" means and what "legal cause" means in a moment.
